I'll summarize a conversation from IRC today. In part, my "wishlist" is to harmonize how $VERSION is defined, how $VERSION is statically parsed by EU::MM->parse_version and Module::Build::ModuleInfo, how $VERSION is specified to use(), what gets returned by UNIVERSAL::VERSION and what version->new($version) gives. I'd like to be able to "round-trip" a version any which way * set it via package NAME VERSION * statically parse it and get the same thing back * eval "use Foo $version" and succeed * get the same thing back from Foo->VERSION * give it to version->new() and get back the same thing. I have posted some sample code that shows cases that work and that fail. http://gist.github.com/245765 -- DavidThread Previous | Thread Next
